Walmart to build new e-commerce fulfillment center

Wal-Mart Stores said it would build a new e-commerce fulfillment center in Lainfield, Ind. Officials said the 1.2-million-square-foot facility, expected to be operational early next year, would provide one- or two-day Internet order fulfillment capabilities from Texas to east of the Mississippi.

The company plans to begin hiring for the new fulfillment center in October.
